In your culture, which names are super snooty, and which ones are super trashy?

1. In Germany, trashy names are usually French (Jacqueline, Chantal) or English (Kevin, Ronny). Calling someone a Kevin has become a legitimate insult.

2. Any name with a "y" when there doesn't need to be one has a 95% chance of being trashy.

3. I'm Arab. I'd say Omar, Muhammad, Ahmed, Aziz, Karim, and Hassan are considered classy. On the other hand, Omar, Muhammad, Ahmad, Aziz, Karim, and Hassan are considered trashy. In other words we basically have like 10 names we use over and over lol edit: and yes, one of those names is my name. and actually if youre really really clever, i gave you a hint in there which one
   — RIPelliott






4. British- oh god we have built entire class systems on this. Telegraph journalist Harry Wallop wrote about this in his book 'Consumed' and explores how your name can affect your outcome in life. Can't remember the exact statistic, but someone called 'Penelope' is something like 200 times less likely to be living in poverty than someone called 'Kayleigh'. He calls the lower class 'tribes' of Britain 'The Hyphon-Leighs' because of variations of names with 'Leigh' on the end of it e.g 'Casey-Leigh', 'Heaven-Leigh' etc. I think it boils down to lower class parents wanting their child to stand out. The trurly posh can name their child 'Bumblebee Bumblefuck', but that child will probably have a world class education and never have to write 'Bumblebee Bumblefuck' on a job application for Burger King. The lower classes will call their child something equally as ridiculous but sadly that child will not have the same opportunities in life.

5. I would have to say names like Destiny, Trinity, Harmony, etc. all generally hold a trashy stigma. The one that kills me is Neveah. "It's Heaven backward!" I got it. Very clever.

6. I've known 2 girls named Destiny. One of them had knife scars from confronting a girl she ought not have confronted about sleeping with her tweaker boyfriend. The other was literally a crack whore. For the record, my views on prostitution are more open minded than most, but when you do it for small amounts of crack you can truly be called trashy.

8. Anything with a hyphen and then Lynn is trashy
   — Lostdingo


9. Anything ending in -adyn/-adinn/-aden/-aiden (Haydyn, Jadyn, Kayden) was kinda snooty, like a prep school kid name. Now -adyns are just kids with mohawks drinking mountain dew out of sippie cups

10. I've always viewed Tammy as a pretty trashy name. Majority of Zach/Zac/Zack's I've met have been pretty trashy too.

11. For French, any name that's 2 names: jean-baptiste, Jean-christophe will be snooty.
